Scoops with John

In Captiva there is a ice cream store called Scoops. One of the workers name is John. He is from Haiti and has worked there for about seven years. He is always nice and has a smile on his face. He would play games with us and give us free ice cream sometimes. If you didn't know where he was from you would think he is from Jamaica. Most of the other workers in Scoops are Jamaican. He always tries to trick me and sometimes it works. Once he told me that one of the girls that worked with him was his wife. I believed for about two days until he finally told me that they were not married. He is quite the joker.


This year the first thing my brother and I did was Go into Scoops and say hi to John. We talked about life for a while and then they started talking about Mac's girlfriend so I just left. That night we went in there to get some ice cream and pizza. We gave him a piece of pizza because he look like It had been a rough day. Then Tony came up to us. He is also a worker at Scoops who has been there for a while. He looks exactly like Elvis Presley. We talked to him and John for a long time then we went home to bed. It was a great first day. I couldn't wait for the next day.


The last day of  vacation we all decided to get the wagon full of fun. which is 20 huge scoops of ice cream in a tiny wheel barrel. We got it last year and it was a disaster. Along with the ice cream there is crushed cones, brownies, hot fudge, caramel, whipped cream, and sprinkles. This year we decided to eat it outside. Once I brought it out everyone started eating it instantly. It was like watching animals feast on prey. Everyone ate a bunch so we finished it. I went to rinse it out and ask John to see if i Could keep the wagon, but I couldn't. If we go next year we will definitely get that.
